Additional Information

Entertainment

Dewey, Pickette and Howe

Dewey, Pickette, and Howe is a three piece bluegrass band, based in the Ketchum / Sun Valley area, that has quickly established itself as one of the top bands in Southern Idaho. “Great song list,” “sharp arrangements,” “awesome harmony,” are just a few comments from fans at Dewey, Pickette, and Howe performances.

The roots of this band come not only from the traditional influences of Flatt and Scruggs, and Bill Monroe, but also the more contemporary sounds of John Hartford and Tim O’Brien.

With combined experience of over 100 years performing in bluegrass, cowboy, country rock, and new acoustic bands, the members of Dewey, Pickette, and Howe blend it all into a fresh, distinctly Northern Rockies bluegrass sound.

On guitar and vocals is Gary Carlson. Laying down the groove on the bass is Brad Hershey. On mandolin and vocals is Dave Muscavage.
